Double yolk!

I never heard anyone complain about having too much garage space.

Had a red B1 back in the day. One of the few cars/bikes I wish I’d never sold.

Wow that brings back memories. CB250K4 was my first Jap bike back in the day. Was a step up from a Tiger Cub at the time. Never rated highly for performance but was ok for a 250. The twin leading...

Jeez mate I don't know how you do this and still keep smiling! Glad to see you on the mend even if it takes a while.

Wow sorry to hear that. Here's hoping for as speedy a recovery as possible.

Currently have a Harley Davidson leather jacket and trousers, which haven't been worn since the Street Bob was cast out. A Richa textile jacket I bought because the leather jacket was too hot, and...

Interesting. Have been looking into the 790 Duke.

Difficult to say without trying it, but it looks as though the field of vision is made smaller by the fogged part. If so it's a no from me, although as a fair weather fun biker it probably wouldn't...

:icon_biggrin::icon_biggrin::icon_biggrin::icon_biggrin: Frensham Pond champion 1965 here!

Admit it, it's why you were there!

Fair enough, it's 35 years since I used a bike for a regular work commute so beating the traffic jams isn't something that would concern me. Mind you even then it was 25 miles of A road which wasn't...

Me neither, unless it’s walking pace, and even then rarely.

Thought so, they were a great improvement over the Avon SM Mk11 and hard plastic Bridgestone's back in the day! :encouragement: Still think they look the dogs.

TT100s?

Thanks that's nice to know.

Thanks Brian, that does give me some ideas about it. I'm going to the local Honda stealers in the week so will check out the riding position as I'm no youngster! May also look at the 500. Cheers.

Has anyone on here had any real world experience of the Honda CB650R or the KTM 790 Duke? Any information would be appreciated.

One of the reasons I like my Helite mesh airbag jacket is the ‘turtle’ style of back protection.

Sorry to hear about your accident. The older I get the more I dread something similar although I still enjoy riding and am thinking of a new bike!



Since wearing a Helite airbag jacket I now...

I wish I'd persevered with it to be honest. The Enfield Interceptor I have now is much more nimble in the corners and a lot lighter but there's something about the Harley I miss. This may cost me...

I had to sell my Harley for similar reasons. But can’t help thinking about another one!

Had some biker friends in the Dagenham area back in the day. Used to spend quite a few weekends there. People were great but never enjoyed riding in London.

1976 myself and the girlfriend went to the Lewis Leathers shop in London. Two Lightning jackets, a pair of Motorway boots and the obligatory white socks later we emerged. Halogen days! :icon_biggrin:
